Hold nothing back, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“If grape pickers came to you, would they not leave a few grapes?”
(Obadiah 1:5)

Yes they would, Jesus.

Grape pickers try to gather most of the grapes

but it slows them down too much
to pick every single one of them.

You, however, are informing proud Edom

that You’re about to pick them clean

leaving nothing but memories
of what they used to possess.

Help me live clean, Holy Spirit

so I don’t have to be picked clean.

Pray this Lazaroo with burning zeal:

“Now you dwellers in Jerusalem and people of Judah, judge between me and my vineyard. What more could have been done for my vineyard than I have done for it? When I looked for good grapes, why did it yield only bad”
(Isaiah 5:3-4)

I don’t know what more You could have done for me, Jesus!

I only pray that when You look at the results
of Your loving investment in me

You will find more good grapes
than bad.

Pray this Lazaroo with passionate gratitude:

“My loved one had a vineyard on a fertile hillside. He dug it up and cleared it of stones and planted it with the choicest vines. He built a watchtower in it and cut out a winepress as well. Then he looked for a crop of good grapes, but it yielded only bad fruit.”
(Isaiah 5:1-2)

That’s how beautifully You’ve treated me, Jesus

and how horribly I’ve treated You.

Please forgive me!

I desperately want You to receive full value
for Your loving investment in me!

Pray this Lazaroo with pure devotion:

“Honor the Lord with your wealth, with the firstfruits of all your crops; then your barns will be filled to overflowing, and your vats will brim over with new wine.”
(Proverbs 3:9-10)

The key is that old-fashioned word, “firstfruits,” isn’t it, Jesus?

The first tomatoes that ripen
the first grapes that reach full color
the first figs to arrive at succulent readiness

Those are the hardest to part with…

and the most meaningful of all
to devote to You.

Cling to the promise of God, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“The LORD will restore the splendor of Jacob…though destroyers…have ruined their vines.”
(Nahum 2:3)

It takes years for a grapevine to mature to the point where it produces truly great grapes, Jesus.

The grape grower invests hours in pruning and training the vine
so it pours all its lifeforce into creating great-tasting grapes
rather than growing big and bushy with stems and leaves.

O God!

Is that what You’re doing with me?

Please.
Whatever it takes.
Restore my splendor.
